In Golden Gate Park That Day ...

Love the poem for the simple fact that this is an observation of human condition specifically, and not a sort of general observation although this poem has elements of that as well. This poem has an empty and unfulfilled tone to it, that the husband and wife are unhappy, they sit down,eat oranges "without looking at eachother" and saying anything to eachother. "at a very still spot where the trees dreamed and seemed to have been waiting thru all time for them" "and put the peels in a basket which they seemed to have bought for that purpose without looking at eachother" is a sign of them doing this often, perhaps too often, not looking at eachother not speaking to eachother because nothing to see and nothing to say, sort of emptiness between their emotions for eachother. They are in a beautiful environment, enormous meadow with birds and still air, fruits (sign of spring) this is an environment that hides the ugliness of the relations between the man and wife, and the enormous meadow is symbolic to their possibly supressed relationship, their surrounding is enormous, big (seems like endless opportunity and possibility) like the birds questioning existence(whats their purpose in life) and "trying to recall something forgotten"(what is missing) and their inner life is dull, sort of supressed. I have an idea of what this poem could be but not sure how to put it into words. What I really am curious about is why he said meadow of the world (possibilities/opportunities that the world offers?)
